Abstract: A test plug assembly includes a shaft on which an annular elastic seal and compression elements are mounted. The compression elements confront opposite axial sides of the annular seal and are movable relative to one another for axially compressing and radially expanding the seal into fluid-tight sealing engagement with an inner peripheral wall of a pipe. A transducer is mounted on the distal end of the shaft and measures a condition within the pipe at a location beyond the seal. For example, the transducer is a temperature compensation pressure transducer for obtaining pressure measurements within the downstream portion of the pipe beyond the test plug The transducer produces electrical signals and is in communication with a control unit located externally of the pipe. The control unit converts the electronic signals of the transducer for driving a display apparatus to provide visible or audible information and/or warning signals concerning the measurements.

Title: Regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation by the use of human mesenchymal stem cells
Inventor: MBALAVIELE GABRIEL
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to the induction of hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into osteoclasts by culturing hematopoietic stem cells with human mesenchymal stem cells, and, in a preferred embodiment, using no exogenous cytokines. Differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts inhibited the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into osteoclasts. In addition, hematopoietic stem cells can be genetically engineered to carry genes of interest particularly for the expression of physiologically active proteins. In the presence of mesenchymal stem cells, the transduced cells carry the new genetic material and express gene products that can be used to modulate bone resorption.

Title: Brushless dc motor with soft-starting of pwm signals
Inventor: JEUNG YOUNG-CHUN
IPC: H02H7/08
Filed: 2010-03-31
Abstract: A DC motor is provided. The DC motor prevents rush or overload of current in the DC  motor during and/or after power input irregularities to the DC motor. A  control circuit of the DC  motor is configured to control current provided to the DC motor. When power irregularities in the power input to the DC motor are detected by the control circuit, the control circuit stops generating PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signals and stops the current provided to the DC  motor. After the stoppage of PWM signals, the control circuit can perform a soft-start of the PWM signals when the power irregularities are no longer detected. The soft starting of the PWM signals generates gradual increase in current to the DC motor, thus, preventing sudden rush of current that cause malfunction of the DC motor.
